In the middle of March, the two banks of the Liao River are already green grass, although only an inch long, but from a distance, it looks like a huge green carpet, covering the entire earth, which makes the Liao River, which was originally meandering in a dry yellow like a green belt, seem to disappear from the earth, not so conspicuous.

Between the boundless green, the little white, yellow, and red flowers stand proudly in the green sea, just right dotted, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and the colors are colorful.

"It's beautiful!" Looking at this endless expanse that he could never see when he was in Hejian County, Yan Peng couldn't help but admire, although he was a military general, but his family history and literary style were also extraordinary, seeing such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Sun Xiao didn't have such a storm, looked at Yan Peng's appearance, and said with a smile: "I think that it would be more beautiful to add countless villages, hundreds of people, countless fertile fields, ploughing cattle, men and women weaving." ”

Yan Peng rolled his eyes silently, such a paradise, if you really want to add these, it will be full of cheesiness, and it will never appear in Lingxiu again, but thinking about the purpose of this trip, I can't help but feel a little frustrated, yes, I came here, didn't I want to make this place look like what Sun Xiao said in his mouth.

It's a pity for this beauty.

Looking back at the ranks of the Second Army, which had been winding like a long dragon behind him, and had entered the grassland for more than a month, these soldiers were still in high spirits, and did not have the pain of leaving their homeland as he feared. But he is still a little worried in his heart, although there are mountains and hills on the Hetao Plain, but most of the places are still a plain, under this kind of terrain, for the Donghu cavalry, it is naturally like a fish in water. But for the infantry, every battle will be a bitter battle. The opponent can choose the battlefield. Choose the time of the battle, and conquer the Eastern Army. But they can only defend their backs.

Different from the blind optimism of Sun Xiao and others, Yan Peng consciously saw further, Zhengdong Mansion now seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it is full of dangers, and now it is just with the help of the chaotic situation, only to occupy a place among the heroes, once the situation stabilizes, no matter which force. For the expedition to the East Mansion, there is an overwhelming advantage.

It is no wonder that the governor of the Gaudu was in a hurry to start the Hetao Plain.

However, a few years ago, Gao Du Governor led an army to raid Shannan County of Qin State, captured it in one fell swoop and handed it over to Zilan, but it was a stroke of genius, this battle, not only ensured that Zhengdongfu was no longer threatened by the west, but also silently but extremely effectively provoked the gap between Zilan and Zhao Wang Wuji.

In Yan Peng's opinion, although Zilan almost won Shannan County for nothing, while guarding the western gate for the Eastern Army, she also had to be suspicious of King Zhao from Handan. The gains outweigh the losses. But there is a good saying, the child is not a fish, and the fish knows how to be happy? Maybe the situation in Daigun. forced Zilan to know that Gao Yuan's move was suspected of harboring evil intentions, but she still had to grit her teeth and take it.

Gao Yuan's move made Zilan have to form an alliance with him, not only to deal with the threat of the Qin people, but also to face the suspicion of King Zhao.

The current Zilan is finally no longer the Zilan who has endured for decades, and is no longer the Zilan who humbly retreated for the sake of Zhao State. has completely angered Zilan and given the two of them a fragile relationship. slashed hard,

The little bond that held the two together was broken. Or the current Zilan thinks that she is planning to replace King Zhao.

Qi colluded with Donghu, wanted to use Donghu to put pressure on Yan, so that they could take advantage of the fire on the Yanqi border, the king of Qin had the heart to sweep the world, South Korea in early March, finally Li Xin conquered Xinzheng, officially declared the death of the country, Wei people in the country panicked, a large expedition to the border, Zhao Zhao Mu led the main force to arrive at the Zhao Wei border, as long as Qin has the action of attacking Wei, the Zhao people will enter the Wei state, and the Chu country, which has always been in the south, finally has a move this time, and began to mobilize troops and horses to the Qin-Chu border, but the Chu people have not fought for decades, Whether you can ask for it in front of Qin General Meng Tian or not, there is still a question.

The Seven Kingdoms of the World, Korea is dead, Wei, Zhao and Chu have initially formed a strategic alliance against Qin, but this alliance is also extremely fragile, especially King Huai of Chu, looking forward and backward, is not a decisive master, if the Chu people are half-hearted, only Zhao Wei, it is not possible to stop the power of the Qin people.

Troubled times are really imminent.

This time, the Northern Field Army went to the Hetao Plain, in addition to the more than 3,000 infantry cavalry that Xu Yuan had taken the lead in driving a year ago, it was the 4,000 Hejian County soldiers led by himself, Sun Xiao led the 3,000 elites of the group headquarters, and will be stationed in Dayan Lake and build a city in Dayan Lake, so that the first army, the second army and the headquarters of the group army will form an irregular inverted zigzag city chain in the Hetao Plain, which will be the pattern of conquering the west bank of the Liao River in the east and sitting west and looking east.

It can be expected that in the next few years, the tranquility of the Hetao Plain will be broken, a series of bloody battles, will inevitably explode, the Donghu people will not sit idly by and watch the actions of the Dongfu in the Hetao Plain, if the Donghu is successful, the Donghu will be attacked on both sides, and be passive in the strategy, then, when the Dongfu is still fledgling, it will be the choice of the Donghu people.

The Northern Field Army, which has only more than 10,000 troops, is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and the strength of a large tribe of Donghu will not be weaker than that of the entire Northern Group Army.

This made Yan Peng a little anxious.

After joining the Eastern Army, he did know the military strength of the Eastern Army, and also understood that compared with the Hejian County Army and the Eastern Army, it was a grade worse, but the absolute strength of the two sides was here. Although he now controls the two counties of Hejian and Liaoxi, it is still difficult to support the ambition of the Eastern Army with the strength of the two counties.

The Dayan City, presided over by Guo Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has already started, and tens of thousands of people from Jishi City have been in place, this time Sun Xiao brought the headquarters of the 1,000 Group Army to go together, but the main thing is to inspect the first army and the second army.

The garrison of the First Army and the Second Army, about fifty miles apart, almost in a straight line, in order to control the Liao River and resist the Donghu people, Xu Yuan was ordered to build the city, I hope he is not perfunctory, the city, of course, is built as firmly as possible, but he has this manpower, and the time is short, so it would be good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain after he arrived.

There was a melodious sound of horns in front, and with the horns, the horses' hooves rumbled, and a cavalry suddenly jumped out of the horizon, and the big flag fluttered, which was the banner of the First Army of the Eastern Army.

But it was Xu Yuan who personally brought people to greet him.

"It's not far from Pioneer City!" Sun Xiao smiled and said: "I can rush to Pioneer City today, I have been on the road for more than a month, and it is time to take a good rest." ”

"These boys still look alive." Glancing at his army, Yan Peng was a little proud, and after leading the army to Jishi City, he finally saw the training method of the world-famous Eastern Army, and was greatly stimulated, and introduced the training methods of the Eastern Army, and personally asked Gao Yuan to send his personal soldiers to serve as instructors in the Hejian County Army, which is a double thing, one is to express his loyalty to Gao Yuan, and the other is to really improve the combat effectiveness of the Second Army.

After a month of special training, the combat effectiveness of the Second Army has indeed been solidly improved, and Yan Peng is sympathetic to this, that is, himself, and now he is much stronger, and his strength, reaction, and skills are not the same as before.

"I'm afraid it will take a while before I can recover to my best condition." Sun Xiao smiled, compared to Yan Peng, his experience is much richer, the soldiers of the second army are still in a state of excitement, and when this fresh energy passes, the fatigue of a long march, homesickness, and loneliness will strike together, at that time, the whole army will fall into a trough, only after this time period, the army can form a real combat effectiveness.

As he spoke, Xu Yuan had already led his troops to them, and there were more than 100 cavalrymen who came to greet them, and they were extremely fierce.

Xu Yuan threw off the saddle and left the horse, strode to Sun Xiao, slapped his left chest with his right hand, and said loudly: "Xu Yuan, commander of the First Army of the Northern Field Army, has seen His Excellency the Commander. ”

Sun Xiao laughed and got off the horse, first returned a salute to Xu Yuan, and then carefully looked at Xu Yuan, and said: "I originally thought that you were alone here, you must be so tired that you are skinny and not look good, but looking at your red face, are you doing well?" What's the good news for me? ”

Xu Yuan laughed, "Good news, that's a lot, but Commander, let's let Xu Yuan sell it first?" ”

Sun Xiao laughed, "Good boy, you still sell a pass, well, it seems that you want to give me a surprise, okay, yes, but I have to say the first, if this surprise is not big enough, I won't spare you." ”

"The commander is reassured. This surprise must be big. Xu Yuan said with a smile.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is Yan Peng, the commander of the Second Army, and you will be comrades-in-arms in the future, you two should be close and close!" Sun Xiao turned around to introduce Yan Peng to Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan arrived in Hetao very early, but he had never seen Yan Peng.

"Commander Yan, I'm glad to meet!" Xu Yuan smiled with a smile on his face, and stepped forward to salute, but he took the opportunity to take a closer look at this former prince of Hejian County, if it was placed in the past, the two were originally people from two worlds, but now, they are colleagues at the same level.

"Fortunately, Commander Xu, it's hard work." Yan Peng returned the salute with a smile.

Xu Yuan turned around and said to the generals behind him: "Huazong, Jiawang, Sun Xiaoyi, and Luo Lei have all come to see the commander and Commander Yan. ”

Following Xu Yuan's order, the four senior generals of the First Army stepped forward in unison and saluted Sun Xiao neatly. (To be continued)
